After spending yesterday morning culling pellets for the Theoben, I settled on the Exact 8.44gr at ~13fpe. The FTTs in 4.51 are also very good (and possibly a bit better!) but I have more JSBs on hand so I stuck with them for today.
I shot 6x 5 shot groups total at 30yds and zeroed the scope after group #1. Two notable bad shots in groups 1 & 3 drastically increased the overall average but thats showbiz, baby.
EDIT: Found some free time in between chores and finished off the last 4 boxes in the rows. I think I found a better hold but the wind had picked up some too so it's a wash in the accuracy department.
Overall she shoots great and I have a hunch once I put in some effort learning her likes and dislikes she will start breaking MOA at this range fairly often. I'll sort some pellets for her later as well to see if things can tighten up a bit. Groups 5 and 6 also saw a significant reduction in trigger pull after a slight adjustment to the rear screw. The first 20 shots were with a trigger breaking at just over 2lbs. The next 10 were with a trigger breaking at under a pound and a half. Huuuuuge difference.
